About this episode

Sophie Garbin discusses her dual role as a top netball player and the Baking Queen of the Melbourne Vixens, sharing insights into team culture and dining habits.

Australian netballer Sophie Garbin is one of the elite players in the world game, but as the designated BQ (Baking Queen) of the Melbourne Vixens, her responsibilities go way beyond her GA (Goal Attack) duties on court.  Sophie gives us the lowdown on the sweet treats that fire up the reigning national netball champions and we discover some fascinating insights into the Australian Diamonds' dining habits on the road. Plus, there's a shock revelation about the team's coffee culture.  The squeeze is on for the Food Poll again this week as we ask whether you are a yay or nay for the much-undervalued balsamic vinergar glaze.         Presented by Sarah Patterson & Kevin Hillier Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/ Catch us also on: Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/ Follow us on Facebook... https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/ Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytes Post-production by Chris Gates  for Howdy Partners Media  © 2026 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
